Social Board

Sometimes, nothing hits the spot quite like a seriously good sandwich and when it comes to mega sandwiches in Brighton, @socialboardsandwiches on St James’s Street is the place to go. These guys have been crafting some of Brighton’s best sandwiches for years, and it’s clear they know exactly what people want.l

I recently went down to try a few of their iconic sandwiches and sides, and I couldn’t wait to get stuck in. When we arrived, the place was packed, always a great sign, and a clear testament to their stellar reputation

We went for the special of the day: Pulled Beef Shin with pickled shallots, potato crisps, horseradish, and black pepper cream cheese. It looked amazing, generously portioned, big enough to share. The beef was tender, perfectly seasoned and packed with flavour. I couldn’t finish it so I took the rest home which my husband was more than happy to polish off and agreed it was outstanding!

We also ordered one of my favourites, The Italian Job: marinated roasted chicken fillet with basil parmesan pesto mayo, sundried tomatoes and rocket. I’ve had this one a few times and it’s always my go to. Fresh, flavourful, and incredibly satisfying. And like everything here, the portion size is more than generous, you could easily save half for later

Social Board also does fantastic sides if you’re after an extra indulgence. Their chips are a staple (and free with any sandwich on Wednesdays!) We also tried the Mac ‘n’ Cheese Bites, which were golden and crunchy on the outside and deliciously cheesy inside, I couldn’t get enough. The Beef Brisket Arancini were another hit, served with homemade mustard and gherkin relish that added a lovely zing. Highly recommend ordering a portion of those!

I’ve been a fan of Social Board for years (especially during lockdown when it became one of our go to spots). Whether you’re eating in, grabbing takeaway, or ordering for delivery, this place consistently delivers. Fair warning: once you’ve tried Social Board, it might just ruin all other sandwiches for you. You’ve been warned!

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
